HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — An internal investigation into whether football coach Joe
Paterno and other Penn State officials helped cover up reports that Jerry Sandusky
was molesting children in the school’s locker rooms will be released Thursday,
officials said Tuesday.

The report, commissioned by school trustees
following the former assistant football coach’s arrest last year, is expected
to reveal how the university treated Sandusky after fielding complaints about
his encounters with young boys in 1998 and 2001. It is also expected to cast
additional light on how Paterno exerted control over the football program while
Sandusky worked under him and after Sandusky retired from coaching.

Not only could the report shape how Paterno is
remembered, but it also could affect an ongoing NCAA probe into the school’s
conduct and criminal cases against two Penn State administrators.

The report will be published online at 9 a.m.
Thursday. Investigators will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. to discuss the
findings and recommendations in the report.

Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of
sexual abuse involving 10 boys. Prosecutors described how he culled the most
vulnerable children from his charity for at-risk youth and used gifts and his
access to Penn State facilities to abuse them over a 15-year span.

After Sandusky retired from Penn State in 1999,
he still had an office at the school and used its locker rooms.

The 68-year-old is awaiting sentencing, but
given the seriousness of the offenses and state guidelines, he will spend the
rest of his life behind bars.

The seven-month university review was led by former FBI director and federal
judge Louis Freeh and was designed, according to trustee Ken Frazier, to reveal
“who know what, when” among Penn State officials. When Freeh was hired two
weeks after Sandusky’s arrest, he promised a wide-ranging investigation.

Freeh said he would not interfere with the
state’s criminal investigation but promised to conduct “a thorough, fair,
comprehensive manner, leaving no stone unturned, and without any fear or
favor.” Several of the more than 400 people interviewed by Freeh’s
investigators have said they were asked questions that went beyond Sandusky and
the child sex-abuse scandal.

The focus and tact of questioning depended on
who was being interviewed, but among the broader subjects have been Paterno’s
influence outside of football and how then-president Graham Spanier and the
administration handled athletics, including disciplinary issues.

The university has disclosed that Freeh’s
organization turned up emails that have been turned over to prosecutors.

Two Penn State administrators are charged with
lying to a grand jury and failing to properly report suspected abuse when a
graduate assistant described an attack in a team shower by Sandusky on a boy in
2001. Athletic director Tim Curley, now on leave, and vice president Gary
Schultz, who has since retired, deny the allegations. Their trial date has not
yet been set, but it could be announced soon.

Paterno was fired by the trustees shortly after
Sandusky was arrested in November. He said in December that he alerted Curley
to the 2001 complaint by Mike McQueary but that was the last time the matter
was brought to his attention. He died of lung cancer in January at age 85.

CNN recently reported on an email from Curley
to Spanier that said Curley changed his mind about going to child welfare
authorities in 2001 after speaking with Paterno.

The NCAA is reviewing how Penn State exerted
“institutional control” in relation to the Sandusky matter, and whether
university officials complied with policies that pertain to honesty and ethical
conduct. The NCAA could open a more formal investigation that may expose Penn
State to sanctions.
